‘Gotham’ Season 3 Spoilers: Ra’s Al Ghul To Be An ‘Ambiguous’ Villain

“Gotham” Season 3 is all set to introduce a new villain, Ra’s al Ghul, who will be played by “Game of Thrones” alum Alexander Siddig after its winter break.

Ra’s al Ghul is the head of the League of Shadows, and he will be introduced when young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) tries to unravel the mysteries being kept hidden by the Court of Owls. But is he someone that Bruce can trust? Or will he have something sinister up his sleeves?

According to Siddig, those are the questions that he wants audiences to focus on. The actor told Digital Spy that he wanted fans to keep on guessing whether Ra’s al Ghul is to be trusted or not, so he made the role “as ambiguous as possible.”

“So I really tried to get him so ambiguous that he's almost liquid – that was the way I thought about it. You're really not sure if he's good or bad – no-one knows whether he's a demon or a saint, or a ghost, that's a line from the script,” he said. “I suspect that kind of liquidity can only be fascinating. It certainly fascinates me, and I know I'm going to have fun for as long as I end up playing this character.”

Mazouz earlier told Comic Book Resources that the Court of Owls will get the spotlight in the last eight episodes, so more secrets will unfurl concerning the secret organization. He even teased that Bruce and his doppelgänger will play right smack into the Court of Owls’ evil plans.

“At the center of their plans is Bruce Wayne — Bruce and 514A are instrumental to that plan. Something huge will happen with Bruce and the Court of Owls that will change him forever and ultimately help transform him into the man we know he has to become,” he said.

“Gotham” Season 3, episode 15, titled “How the Riddler Got His Name,” will return on April 24.
